You know, if the Rams could get multiple first round picks and at least one day two pick from us to have Clausen (with the #4 pick) instead of Bradford, I'm not sure how they could possibly talk themselves into thinking Bradford is worth more than that package.

I also think Gil Brandt is really out on a much weaker limb than it appears, though no one with any clout (as in, someone who is not me) is going to call him on it because of who he is.

If what he knows is that Shanahan has a hard-on for Bradford, well, I mean, how many players do you think Shanahan has passed on over the course of his career that he felt could have been complete franchise-changers? Probably one or two a season. So he's been around the block before, and knows that the picks he would trade to deliver Bradford would just end up being his future franchise changers.
